Mastering Diablo 4: Unleash Your Skills With Customized Controls

The gameplay of Diablo 4 is multifaceted, requiring players to utilize a variety of buttons to optimize their class. However, the default control layouts may not always align with a player's preferences. Thankfully, Diablo 4 offers players the ability to remap controls to cater to their individual playstyle. For instance, while the Evade button is set to "B" by default on Xbox controllers, many players may find it more advantageous to assign Evade to a shoulder button and use the face buttons for abilities.

Moreover, players can assign multiple inputs for the same action and take advantage of extra mouse buttons and extended inputs not commonly available on most keyboards, such as F13 through F24. Nevertheless, accessing the controls menu may vary slightly depending on the platform.

How To Customize Diablo 4 Keybinds on PC

Using a mouse and keyboard in Diablo 4 provides players with the advantage of faster reaction times and more precise attack setups compared to using a controller. While playing from a couch may not be as comfortable for PC players, the trade-off of hand cramps is a small price to pay for easier inventory management and accurate AoE spellcasting. Customizing keybindings on a mouse and keyboard setup is easy on PC. Simply access the Game Menu by pressing the Esc key or selecting it from the map, collections, social, or clan menus. Then, navigate to the Options menu, scroll over to Controls, and view every action and its corresponding keybinding. If the screen doesn't display Keyboard bindings, switch it back to the PC view at the top of the screen.

To modify actions, simply browse through the input menu and locate the ones you wish to change. The corresponding key for each action is displayed in a column to the right. To remove a keybinding, simply hover over it and press the Delete button. It will be automatically removed from the list.

If you want to assign a new key to a binding, there's no need to delete the old one first. Just click on the current key and enter a new input using your keyboard or mouse. Once you're done, remember to confirm the changes before returning to the game.

How To Change Diablo 4 Controls on Console

The console version of Diablo 4 has been praised for its excellent design, which offers players a more comfortable and intuitive gameplay experience. Even PC players have found themselves preferring a gamepad to a keyboard and mouse, thanks to the ease of movement and the satisfying close-range combat. However, navigating the UI can be tricky, and changing controls requires a few extra steps. Console players must first open the Map using the Select button on Xbox or the Share button on PlayStation, and then use the shoulder buttons to access the Game Menu and reach the keybindings page.

To change the controller mappings in Diablo 4, first navigate to the Options menu and select the Controls tab using the shoulder buttons. From there, players can select the action they want to remap, and then choose the new button they want to assign it to by selecting the corresponding box. This process must be done manually for Xbox and PlayStation players, but those using a controller on PC can also take advantage of the keyboard and mouse interface to simplify the process, as the game will automatically switch between the two inputs.

Diablo 4 is available for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Series X|S
